Man shot, killed by deputies after 911 call claiming woman was trying to kill family members

WALKER COUNTY, Ga. - Agents with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation are looking into an officer-involved shooting in Walker County where a deputy shot and killed a man in his Rossville home.

It all started in the early-morning hours of New Year’s Day when a woman called 911 and said her estranged daughter-in-law threatened to kill her child and then herself.

When deputies arrived at the home on Meadowview Drive in Rossville, the family was sleeping.

The estranged daughter-in-law was living in the home with her parents while going through a divorce.

After the 911 call claiming there could be a murder-suicide in progress, deputies surrounded the home and GBI officials said those deputies stated several times who they were, but the family members said they were sleeping and didn’t hear the deputies.
